"No, My Lady" Serena answered feeling hypnotized by Kate and she spat out everything in her mouth even when she didn't intend to. This made a new set of terror crawl down her spine and she suppressed the shiver threatening to give her away. At the same time, she was scared of the turn-up of events her truthful answer might bring.
Kate's gaze never left Serena and she continued to question "What are you then?" Her tone was unusually calm and collected.
Serena couldn't help but look up at the lady who interrogated her. This felt like one of those times she was questioned by Clarence when she was first caught by him. She saw the determination in Kate's eyes and she knew there was no turning back. She had to answer. Either way, she was going to face a grave punishment or yet still, death.
"I'm a white witch, My Lady"
